Never thought this was possible



Recommended Posts

I had my gastric sleeve done January 11th. I weighed 333.1lbs.

I'm 10 months post op now and weigh 144.2lbs.

I've set new goal weights as I've gone along...first was just to get under 200lbs, then I thought I wanted my goal weight to be 180lbs. When I got there, I made the crazy goal of 150lbs never thinking I'd make it....but I did. So then I figured my goal would be 145lbs which puts me at a normal bmi...which I haven't been since I was around 10.

Now that I weight 144lbs, I've decided my final goal will 133lbs, which will mean I will have lost a total of 200lbs....and I'll do it, I know I can.

I never thought when I had surgery that weighing in the 130's would even be possible.

I've gone from wearing sizes 5-6x, and 28-30, now I wear smalls and mediums and am a size 8....I would be around a 6 if it wasn't for the large amount of skin I have around my stomach and thighs....but it's a price I'm more than happy to pay.

I've been extremely disciplined this whole 10 months. I can honestly say I've never put a bad food in my mouth...not once. I follow a very low carb diet still, drink about 85oz of Water every day and get in around 80oz of Protein. I take all my required Vitamins daily.

The gym has become a big part of my life. I workout around 5-6 days per week doing a variety of exercising....spin class, step attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479186898.843537.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479186913.138458.jpgclass, yoga, cardio machines....I like doing different things so I don't get bored.

Anyway, because I'm so close to goal, I just wanted to share this. And for the people who have a lot of weight to lose like I did....remember, you can do this! I'm living proof!!

Thank you!

Food favorites?? Can't really say I have any...I basically just eat Protein still. A lot of chicken. Once I get to my goal weight, I'll start to expand my food selections. Right now, I eat pretty boring to tell you the truth

What types of food did you eat please share a typical week of foods you would eat please I need help in this area

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, you sound like you're doing great!

My typical food day is pretty boring. I still eat very low carb.

For Breakfast I have a Protein shake, for lunch and supper 3-4oz of whatever Protein i have. Then I have some other protein in the evening, some times a Protein Bar or whatever I have leftover.

I eat a lot of chicken, usually chicken breast seasoned in different ways. Or chicken salad is good too.

I also eat a lot of shrimp and fish.

Sorry I'm not much help in the food idea area!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
